If you have an issue with a detector nearest the kitchen going into alarm falsely replace it with a photoelectric detector which is less prone to false alarms.There are two types of detectors.Photoelectric types which are better at detecting smoky fires and less prone to false alarms which are recommended outside kitchens and bathrooms with a shower for that reason. Ionization type detectors are better at detecting flaming fires and are more prone to false alarms. In my opinion I would use all photoelectric detectors. Former fire inspector for 31 years.
